Curated OER
Law of Large Numbers - Hospital
Students explore concepts of probability and independent events. They develop a formula for deviation percentage.
Curated OER
Probability and the Law of Large Numbers
Students explore the law of large numbers. In this problem solving instructional activity, students view an episode of "Cyberchase" and apply the law to determine probability in 2 different scenarios.
Curated OER
Who Would Have Figured?
Students investigate what happens when a coin is tossed a few times versus many times. They analyze, in groups, the data from tossing coins, and the Law of Large Numbers.

Oer Commons: Experimental Probability
Students will extend their understanding of probability by continuing to conduct experiments, this time with four-colored spinners. They will compare experimental results to expected results by first conducting an experiment, then...

Texas Instruments: Probability as Relative Frequency
In this activity, students use simulation to justify the concept of the Law of Large Numbers. They understand that as the sample size increases, the relative frequency of which an event occurs approaches the probability of that event...
